Cooked vs Uncooked Soya Chunks calories and Macros

100g of UNCOOKED Soya chunks gives you; 52g of protein 33g of Carbs and 0.5g of Fat but my mum was making them and they were not made raw, so what could I do to track them, because I could not find the macros for COOKED soya chunks. I am not sure how much the water weight would have added. Thanks

Answer

weigh everything in its raw/dry form. but if you forgot to do that, remember than most grains and legumes will usually absorb 2x water weight when cooked. soy chunks are defatted soybeans, so they are a legume product. 100g soy chunks will roughly translate to 300g cooked soy chunks. so 100g cooked chunks would have roughly 1/3 the calories and macros of raw chunks. this isn’t super accurate, which is why it’s better to measure things raw.
